Slicks!? lol No room to carry them, even in my little trailer I pull behind my Willys. Old guy at the track told me one day, seen a lot of Willys on a trailer, never saw one pulling one! lol Running M/T street radials now. Maybe I'll get a car trailer and put some miles on my pick-up. lol Will take the fun outta drivin' to the track tho.

16 MPG at 75-80.
11.97 1/4 ET best to date. Just getting back into it at 63. Forgot a lot and have a lot to learn but having a ball doing it. I drive my cars. Vette, blown 350 29 Ford coupe and the Willys. Building a blown 350 for the Willys now. Poor old 98 Ford pick-up just sets there. lol Even drive to the track, 85 miles (Mokan) or 130 (Tusla). Thing is, have fun with what ya got. Some of the guys on here are very competitive and only do track time so their advise does not take the street into consideration.

Hope you'll do a video when you fire the engine up and post it here! I'd like to hear the sound of that cam/engine combo!
I'm putting together another tunnel rammed engine for my present project; a '63 Falcon gasser. Using a 454 with Weiand oval port tunnel to match up with the Edelbrock oval port heads, and twin 600 cfm Holleys. I put an 8.8" Ford in back with 3.73 posi, to make it more enjoyable on the street, but still make it run good at the strip. A Super T10 inbetween, just because I miss shifting a stick!

AHHHH !!! Nice, finally a hot rod with the TR setup....im putting together a pile of parts and such for the small block in my 30 Coupe, and after I get it broken in, im planning on that TR being thrown in...HELL YEAH.....nice headers, they Sanderson?

So the need or real payoff to push the cr limit to the absolute max is just not there, when using their pistons.

My KB pistoned 406 is 9.8:1cr. It punches way above it's weight. Stick to a reliable plan and your 355 will too.

I agree, not going to push the envelope......I will stay at 10:5 and be happy I'm sure.

.. You may be getting close to maximizing the flow of the Weiand Street TR, since it's ports aren't that big, probably very close to those heads... and smaller ports than the Eddy Street TR uses... guess you can let us know how the ports match up soon...

That's almost exactly what they said. With this cam and the TR and a self imposed shift point of 6800 I'm not going to be maximizing the airflow of the intake and cam anyways, so they suggested that these heads would likely make less power at the top for a more rounded motor down low. He thinks I will be very surprised at how much torque this will make. And as anyone who follows my occasional drivel on here knows , I love bigger and generally subscribe to more is better theory. It was almost painfull not arguing with the tech guy when I ordered them lol.

I spoke to profiler about that, among a couple guys on 1320 tech and was told repeatedly that the 195 "acts" alot bigger then what it is, I likely won't turn the motor more then 6800 and they all seem to think its a good match. I don't have any experience with them so I trusted it. They are small, but very busy, and don't have them sitting on a shelf ready to go. Just the casting, I call, tell them what I want, and they go from there. I also spoke to Chad speires and I can ship them there, spend 500$ for his "econo" port job if I think they heads are holding me back. Or even port them myself if need be. They use the same casting for their 210 heads so there's room to grow if need be.
